    Ive seen chappie, alot of ppl were discussing it on fb in one of those I fn love science posts. I argued the ability would be flawed due to emotional affect on the conscience decisions people make and whether or not AI with your uploaded tendencies and logic could fully appreciate that factor. As well as experience, such as for myself, I was told as a kid not to touch the red element on the stove. Logically I knew not to touch it because it was hot, but I still touched it to see if it was true, would my uploaded version do the same if i never had tried

     

    You were also told not to eat paint chips but we can all see how that turned out.   ;)

    IF there are boundaries being stepped over to the detriment of the Bomber command structure, it wouldn't be unique. Does anyone remember the reign of Harold Ballard? And now what is going on with the Blue Jays with the CEO(Shapiro) renewing the contract of the manager bypassing the GM (who resigned)?

    Anthony Crispino, is that you? ;)

    Did ya hear disss??

    Also Ballard was around late 80s and died early 90s I think. ******* punk kids.

     

     

    He died in April 1990 but he was still involved with the team until the very end.

    When I worked at dakota lanes every monda night wheni was 18-20 we had raw on (attitude era) ppl would come watch between turns up to bowl. Since the attitude era, mma became the thing to watch, n talk about, but I suspect many of those ppl watching during the attitude era watched during the early 90s, 80s maybe even longer, many probably check in once in a while still, maybe just not religiously

    This is pretty much me, except I really never checked in again until recently. I "graduated" to mma. My kid's getting old enough to watch wrestling now, so I'll watch some with him. I really don't know much about what's happened between the attitude era and now.

     

    I have tickets to the show here in December. Real case of deja-vu watching my kid turn into a huge wrestling fan.

     

     

    Same here (minus the kid getting me back into it).  Left wrestling when the Attitude era died & MMA really took off (I was always an mma fan, it just didn't compete for my viewing time as there were only events every couple months at best).  I check in now & again just to see what's going on but I can't remember the last time I watched a full raw or ppv or went to a live show.

    I remember how crappy wcw looked on saturdays with the tabled audience I believe and watching guys like glacier (blonde sub zero lookin dude) vs some jobber n it was much easier to be impressed by the wwf. Even when nwo hit its peak I couldnt watch wcw, reminds me of tna today, 2nd class or washed up wrestlers displayed with inferior production quality. Maybe I bought in the wwe/f too hard as a kid

     

    You don't think the WWF was almost all squashes on Saturday mornings as a kid?  I'm not sure I would call SD Jones, Iron Mike Sharp or Barry Horowitz 1st class talent.

  14. Next question ... since it seems to be a theme around here

    Any news about the Als player who suffered that serious injury today? #90.

    Here's the last I saw about it:

    “We are very concerned for him and his health. I had a chance to talk to him on the field,” said Alouettes defensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach Noel Thorpe. “His eyes were wide and he seemed alert and OK. I think the doctors did the right thing taking precautions though.

    “They were concerned about some numbness in his left arm. He was moving his arms, which was a good sign.”

    It's definitely in genesis, saw it on there this morning.

    I've been watching The Last Kingdom on Kodi. It's essentially Vikings but I like it better (at least so far). It's a new show from the BBC, so if you're into that kind of show, I'd recommend it.

    I was more referring to

    He earned a place on the Mexico national team in Greco-Roman wrestling and while competing on the national team obtained several accomplishments.[21] In 1997, he placed third at the World Junior Championships, in the Czech Republic.[21] He also won the Central American and Caribbean Games in his weight division three times and won a medal at the Pan American Games. Rodríguez was on track to compete at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but due to a lack of funding and support, Mexico did not send a wrestling team that year.[5]

    He also has a record of 9-5 in MMA. So while not amazing he is still an accomplished amateur wrestler and professional mixed martial artist. He had several offers to do MMA in the past year.

     

    Just a correction.  He did not medal at the Pan Am Games I can't even find anything that says he qualified).  He did compete at the Pan Am Greco-Roman Championships which is a much different and smaller event , but he never medalled.  In 97 he finished 5th, and he competed again in 98 but finished no higher than 4th (I can only find the medals winners for this year).  There were no championships in 1999 due to the Pan Am games in Winnipeg, and if he competed in 2000, then he did not medal again in this year.

    The Jays offered him a 4 year deal so clearly his fate wasnt sealed by not making the world series.

    He chose to leave... And if the reports, about getting chewed out in your 1st and only meeting with your new boss, are true, then I would be reluctant to come back too.
